The Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are a set of legal terms and conditions defined by the website owner. They set out the terms and conditions governing the activities of site visitors on said site and the relationship between site visitors and the owner of the site. Terms must be determined according to the specific needs and nature of each website. For example, a website that offers products to customers as part of e-commerce transactions requires terms that are different from those of a website that provides information only. The Terms provide the website owner with the opportunity to protect themselves from potential legal exposure.
